'The great consort of the state' clarifies that she was the greatest. 'Queen consort' indicates her status. 'Vaidehī' reveals her name. 'Revering the great king' clarifies that when the queen consort saw that the king's person was imprisoned, the gates were extremely difficult \[to pass\], and news was blocked, she feared the king's physical life would be cut off. Thereupon she bathed with scented water, making her body pure; she then took ghee and honey and first smeared her body, and afterward took roasted flour and placed it on top of the ghee and honey. Then she put on clean clothes, covering it, and over the outer clothes only then put on jewel garlands according to the ordinary way of dressing, so that outsiders would not find it strange. Furthermore, she took the openings of the jewel garlands, plugged one end with wax, filled the openings with grape nectar, and when full plugged them back up. All the jewel garlands were treated in this way. When her adornment was finished, she walked slowly into the palace to see the king. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1753.2.30) - [Next: 2.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1753.2.32) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1753.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1753~en-mt.2.31) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1753.2.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1753.2.31) · Pramāṇa
